...automatically Oedipus Rex. Bourne, who needs no sleep or food or pee breaks, no downtime at all, he's closer to the Terminator, a national-security murder machine. Or, to give Bourne a literary benefit of the doubt, one of those questing creatures from a Philip K. Dick story: a robot who dreams he's human and struggles to determine if the dream is true...

As much as the fight itself, the pleased reaction of many to Dick's thumping (gossip site Gawker's headline: "Andy Dick Gets the Beat-Down We've All Craved") reveals what a harsh business comedy really is. Dick, whose public displays of weirdness have included licking other celebrities' faces, is a comic other comics love to hate. "Andy doesn't really care for anybody except Andy," Masada says.
